As políticas públicas de saúde à pessoa idosa e sua aplicabilidade no Município de São Luiz Gonzaga/RS: marcos legais e regulatórios

Abstract

This research emerged from the need to overcome, as Physical Therapist working in the Municipal Health Department of São Luiz Gonzaga and Municipal Counselor for the Rights of the Elderly, to the almost silence of the public managers in the discussions about the needs of the elderly population and the lack of integration of this age group in basic care networks. For this, the research method adopted is exploratory qualitative research, based on the multireferential approach and of a propositional nature, using as data collection technique the tools of documentary and bibliographic analysis. In structural terms, the present work is organized in three chapters.
